THE city of Annapolis is to be
taxed this year, we understand, at
the rate Of 80 cents on the 800
being a reduction of cents. The
city Of Frederick has just fixed its
tax rates at 3S cents. The latter
city covers much larger area to
be looked after and improved;it sup
ports an efficient police,a fire engine
and all the officials necessary to
maintain good government. And
all this is done at less than one half
the burdens Annapolis has imposed
upon its property to sustain its city
government.

When he saw the telegram he thanked Mr..

Body of n Murdered Man In n Carriage

CHICAGO, ILL, October 2S.-In a car

baker Bros. at the Pennsylvania depot at
Adonis street was found this afternoon the
body of murdered man. W. H. Crane
was experimenting the unloading of a
gondola car upon which was a carriage
consigned to Studebaker's Wagon Factory.
Mr. Crane in looking through window OF
the vehicle was Mortified TO see lying face
downwards, across the seat the body Of
man. 1t was found upon opening the
door, that the corpse was that of young
man aged twenty-one or twenty-five,
five feet eight inches in height, slight mus
tache, light brown heard, dark trousers,

coat Under his hat was n bullet hole.

graph War.
New YORK, October 2S.-The next i'm.
portant step toward complete settlement
of the telegraph war, probably second only
to the purchase of the Baltimore and Ohio
system by the Western Union Company,
was the action taken yesterday.
An agreement was made between the
Mutual Union and the fighting contingent
of the Western Union Company, which now
represents the only opposition.
Mr.. Gould said, in reply TO an inquiry
whether the agreement meant the absorp'
tion of the Macksy land and ocean lines:
81 guess not. AS understand the siua.
tion, the Mutual Union and the Postal
companies have agreed to advance rates TO
something near our tariff. They have been
fighting each other, but the Western Union
is not greatly interested. | have not
heard of any advance in cable rates"
II is understood that the advance in
land rates on the Postal lines will crrry
with it the abolition OF rebates, and that
all the competitive ten and fifteen cent
rates will be giyenIup, and the new sched-
ule will agree very nearly with the West
ern Union.
Dispatches from Richmond, Alexandria,
fredericksburg, Petersburg, Portsmouth
and other points in the South say that the
offices OF the New York and Southern Tel.
cgraph Company are to be closed in all the
cities Of the South reached by the South
ern lines. A few hundred more operators
will be thrown out Of the ranks, and rates
in that territory will be fixed by the
Western Union.
f. S Stokes, of the Postal Telegraph
Company, admitted IN an interview that
an arrangement had been agreed upon
whereby both his company and the West
ern Union would restore rates in cases
where there had been ruinous competition.
He says the advances by the Western
Union would apply only to its Baltimore
and Ohio system. The Western Union came
to him and asked him if be would enter
into a reasonable arrangement Of the kind,
and he, of course, had no objections. The
revision would probably 20 into force
about November lat. He was convinced
that the Western Union would not make
general advance of rates.

Mr. Bennett waS born iu Lewis county, in
what is known as Collins Settlement, on
the sth of October, 1914. He was n self:
educated man, and being of strong mind
and great perseverance rose by his own ex-
ertions to distinction. He was elected by
the people of Lewis county in 1882 to the
General Assembly of Virginia, and aided in
the passage OF laws to put in force the con.
stitution of Virginia, which had been rati-
fed by the people that year, in which were
great reforms, amongst which were
the right OF suffrage and the election OF all
officers Of government, including the judi

A STRIKE IMMINENT.
Failure of the Glass Conference-Advance
in Prices.

Failure Of the Glass Conferencs-Advancs
In Prices.
PITTsBURG, October 2s. Once more the
flint glass manufacturers and their en-
ployes tried to settle the wage dispute yes
terday and failed. A strike is now con-
sidered inevitable.
Yesterday morning about II o'clock q
committee Of manufacturers visited the
officials Of the Workmen's Union at the
latter's rooms A lengthy consultation
ensued, and the union officials were invited
to attend meeting of the manufacturers
then being held. An informal meeting
between the two parties took place and 1t
soon became evident that no settlement Of
the controversy could be effected.
The stumbling block was the question Of
the gatberers' wages. The union repre-.
sentatives persisted in the gstherers being
paid for all glass gathered by them whether
il was broken or not after leaving their
hands The manufacturers were just az
not persistent in granting this request and
the impromptu conference ended abruptly.
During the afternoon President smith,
Va tuc bhitSI NhS ECU ahh ib-
terrogated on the matter. He said that no
agreement could evidently be arrived at
and what the result would be couldn't say.
He was particularly cautious in remsrkiDg
that he knew nothing whatever about .
strike The manufacturers were almost ~
reticent about the next s,sp 10 be taken.
Both parties, however, declared that there
will bs no more conferences for some
time.
There were several glass workers ip the
union offices last evening Ole Of them
said that the workers can do nothing now
but strike. Union meetings viii be held
without delay and general vote taken on
the subject. All parties interested are Of
opinion that the negotiations have become
wearisome, and as both sides mean u have
their own way, the sooner something def
mite is done the better u viii be.
